Since I got here I have been visiting the forum frequently but I don't really understand or know where to look at, I have experience with other forums but here I feel so confused with all the features and the user interface of this forum. So does anyone else feel the same?
I practically do not know what to do here since I got my account teleported here. maybe someone can help me out.
I would appreciate thanks.

I have been in this forum for a couple of months now. I had the same feeling when I started exploring this forum. Because we are used to the other forum. But, as time goes by, everything is normal now and I got used to this forum as well. We cannot expect twitter to be facebook and facebook to be twitter.
Both forum has its unique systems and we should accept them. Start spending time here and explore the forum categories, you will get used to it within a month or so. The answer to your question is Yes. I also felt the same when I came here.

If you have the Chat activated (see home page), then you could ask there for faster responses. The admin, mods, older members, and even teleported members that are more familiar with the features can assist you in navigating the forum. If you're still confused after your initial inquiry and want a lengthier discussion/explanation, then you can also open a topic.

I don't understand what the problem is, because BTT and this forum are ultimately forums that are basically the same because they are designed in a similar way to contain boards where users then start topics and discuss various things. Therefore, it is very strange to me that someone asks what to do on the forum - even more so considering that it comes from another forum.
@Churchillvv, you should specify more exactly what your problem is, because all you have to do is find a topic that interests you and start a discussion with other members.

Welcome to the forum @Churchillvv.
As @Lucius says, I think you should be more specific with the problems you think you have with the forum. Technically, this forum and BTT are almost the same, boards, threads, sections, posts and some characteristics that, although minimal, differentiate both forums. I recommend that the best thing you can do to start (I assume you have read the forum rules) is to visit the boards that you like the most and start giving your opinion or asking what you don't know.
When you have questions about the forum, in these two boards you will find a lot of information, if you do not find an answer to your questions, do not hesitate to ask:
Basic questions about this forum (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=255.0).
Forum related (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=49.0).
There will always be someone willing to help you.

I have been here since December 2023, at first, I am not familiar with the boards/sections or where to look at for the things I want to read. As time goes by with the continuous reading and engagement with the other forum members, I got to know and understand a lot of things including the rules, etc.
In your case, who just teleported the rank here from other forum, do you even consider asking yourself, what kind of learnings you can find here or what's the point of teleporting your rank here? what is your motive by going here? Because you can't just go to some other place without any idea of what you should do. Not all the time there's someone who would tell you what to do. You should look for the purpose for yourself if you go to some place just like teleporting in this forum.

You will just have to accept the fact that we all have to learn, even that other platform you have been used to is something that you must have once been a novice there before it takes you time to learn and get used to it, which same applies here, you will have to patient, active and ready to learn before getting used to this platform as time goes on, so many of us have already blend since we have joined and got used to it.

Other than the feature to view who sends karma to me, I don't think the forum is really that different from Bitcointalk or other forums in general. On the other hand, the number of boards can be overwhelming, but you just have to click and see what the board is about. There's nothing that you need to learn in great detail. If your purpose is to rank up or grow your reputation, then all you have to do is contribute and make posts, just like usual. Besides, don't you see the usual quick guidelines after each post on every thread? That should give you a quick rundown of what to do and don't do in this forum.
-
In all forums you will find many features that you may not be aware of while visiting. You should spend more time on this forum and review all the features to get familiar with the features and user interface. If the features of this forum merge with the features of other forums you use, there will be no purpose to find anything new. However here you will get almost everything like btt forum but you may find it a little difficult to understand because of the different options. After you use it for a while it will become easier for you.

Since you have already experience in others forum and therefore you are more familiar with the interface of that forum, you are getting this confused feeling because you suddenly come to a new platform. I think it will be solved after a few days if you explore this forum, I think this forums features will not disappoint you here lots of extra and interesting features. I think this feelings will have all those who enter this forum for the first time but this is nothing to be worried.

Just open your adblocker and zap all the content you don't want to see if there is something you don't like.
It is a bit extreme solution, but one that is proven to work at dumbing down user interfaces ;)
There is nothing here that you haven't seen on some other forum in one way or another. For example, most forums take donations and have perks and other stuff like that.

Agreed :)

It's may true for the some forum, but I think most people's who are from the Bitcointalk forum those haven't seen the ,move features currently, Gif supported avatar, directly youtube content input, also the youtube search, inserting mail. As well as also the converting points to tokens. :D

The other forum is different. Bitcointalk has like 250 BTC in reserves which obviously is safely stored in a multi-sig, but a hacker who is able to exploit Bitocintlak to get admin privileges is still able to do a lot of damages. That's why there are not so many fancy buttons for interacting with a post compared to Altcoinstalks.
Here there is a lot less to lose if someone's account gets hacked.

I'm not a user of the BTT forum, but according to @lucius, the BTT forum and this forum are similar, and teleported users have always said the BTT forum is more advanced than this forum, so we'd appreciate it if you could be specific about your problem so that it can help this forum as well.
-

Since you are a member in other crypto forums and you are not new to forums, then you are simply going to do what you do in other forums here, and that is to discuss on matters that interest you. It is not at all complicated, join discussions you have knowledge about, create topics if you like, just be a usual quality forum user.
Things like 'points', 'karma', etc, may be new to you, but you can also search the forum for information on that, or create new threads to inquire about that.

Of course, there should be time to adjust so I think this is what you are experiencing. But in any case that you are familiar with the other forum, then it will not take time as they are almost the same, they uses SMF theme.
If you are still confused then why not play around here and see how it goes for you. When I was starting on the other forum, that's what I did, go around and see what boards I like to view and commented. I even bookmark some of them. So it will take some time just like the rest of us, but for sure once you adapt and accustomed yourself here, it will be trouble free for you.

I have been here for nearly six months and sometimes I feel confused as well.
I still get lost with so many boards. Reducing the number of boards should be the top priority of the administration in my opinion...
It is hard to find stuff we need. Boards are also not well organized, and sometimes we see empty boards, or child boards which should be in other parents, etc..

This is one of the reasons sometimes people make mistakes. But unfortunately, the admin expects all of us to be veterans. You may be aware of the recent drama that happened to me. I created an airdrop discussion thread in the airdrops section and he was too upset and gave me ten negative karma and moved the thread to the cryptocurrency discussion board.
I still believe that is not the correct board as well. It is a common mistake the user can make while they create threads. There are too many boards and it is possible to get confused with where it fits most. But the admin consider it as an offense. So, users have to be careful with their actions.

I was not aware.
-10 karma is a huge penalty. The problem with penalties is that it may create a disincentive to create new topics.
Please sharee the reference topic I will take a look

You come from a cryptocurrency forum (Bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3490938)) which has lots of traffic and pretty good discussions, but why are you confused here? Is it just because the slight differences in UI/UX make you confused about understanding the writings here?
Keep in mind that everyone sometimes needs adaptation to be able to use the forum comfortably, but if you are already used to Bitcointalk, you shouldn't feel confused here... considering that both the sub forums and local boards here have some things in common. .. so you can enter the sub forum that is suitable for your knowledge.

Oh, I thought you already saw those topics. This is the thread that I created in the Airdrops and Giveaways board (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=321695.0). The admin saw this and got angry with me. He then moved it to the cryptocurrency discussion board and gave me -10 negative karma because he considered this an offense.
At first, I didn't know why my karma was dropped, and I was unable to find one of my threads anymore. Later, I found that, but I had created a thread already asking why my karma was dropped, which I locked later. https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=321762.0

You have just abandoned your thread after asking about what you experienced lol .
Everytime we get into new forum there is always confusing and digging because new place means new community and new approach but this does not took me a month before getting into the forum.
I must tell you this is as good as the other forum you are pointing.
-
Snip
The arrangement of Boards in this forum and BTT are not the same and that is where newcomers from another forums confused because the way they visiting and clinking the Boards in those forum ls are different. Like in bitcointalk the first board is Bitcoin Discussion and other sub-boards follow up but here is different and there we have service and here signature campaigns. So there is a little confusion foe those who are just coming but at time goes on and if they are visiting the forum frequently then they will understand the boards and everything will be okay for them. Many of us also faced little problem in the first time when we came. But now we have mastered the forum.

You have to find your interest-based threads here. I mean the threads you were most active on BTT if there are relevant threads to those threads exist here then you must find them and you would not feel missing Although when I teleported my account I also was not very familiar with the layout and the rules of this forum like how things work.
So instead of making such a post (like this one you made), I thought back on BTT there were many new members and they didn't try to learn things instead they began to start to ask the question of where they could start. I used to reply them that they should first familiarize themselves with the forum so why I am not doing it. Once I figure it out I checked the forum related section, after that, I found out my interest based sections, after that I find out my local thread, after that I started to found more threads to increase my likeness about only few sections.
-
Op I also noticed the same thing like you but I am using my experience and knowledge in Bitcointalk to move around the forum here. And the only different I see here is the numerous Boards in this side.but careful study can make you to understand the forum very easy.
And whenever we need something we should asked.
-
I also felt the same way when I first registered here, but as time goes on I started trying to see how I can navigate freely and understand the forum boards but it took me quite some time. It is a norm that when you get to a new place for the first time, you will not be used to the environment but as you keep on moving around and seeing things in the environment, you will get use to it. It is same with this forum. I was only posting in my local board and gambling initially till I got used to the forum.

It's normal. Most users experienced/felt the same when they newly came into the forum. It will only take few days to master everything properly just like in your other forum, so you can contribute here.

You were able to make a post, which is already a sign of improvement. Keep exploring other boards to see the one that suits you.
-
I don't understand what kind of problem you are suffering from! Because the structure and structural content of this forum is very simple. If you are using btt forum then there is no problem to use this forum. Because all features of this forum are exactly like btt forum. We all teleported here and visited our locations ourselves. I think you haven't visited this forum well enough now so you are having trouble understanding this. On the other hand all the sectors of this forum are divided separately so you can easily understand.

If you are talking about spending most of the time on BTT then you will definitely find it hard to adjust here. But with time you will find peace with this forum as well. I also was a bit feeling strange to be active here but with time I got adjusted like the many others and you will be as well. If you don't know what to do here then you must ask yourself we can't help you.
I mean, why you want to be here in the first place, if you think you are getting enough information and attention from Bitcointalk then you should remain there, but if you have moved here then you must have something on your mind, find that out, clear your vision, and be contributing. With time you will find out that this forum also have a lot to offer.

Apparently, I have to thank you all for your time and advice, I guess I have to do the usual here.
